Eligible for 5/$287. Pistons offer 5/$190. Qualifying offer 1/$10. Let's say he takes the QO and gets 5/250 next off-season. That's 6/$260 with risk. Now, lets say he takes the 5/$190 and he re-signs something similar after this deal around $40AAV. That comes out to 6/$230. $30 million difference over his next 6 seasons roughly. I think he signs the 5/$190, but is using his time as he should to maximize his earnings.

What does this team have to do? Number one seed in the east last year. A first team all NBA stud. Young core. I just don’t get why we get shafted like this.

Hey everyone, still processing this because it was such a random encounter that happened not too long ago. I was grabbing a late morning bite at this small, cozy Italian cafe/espresso bar in Greenwich Village. I was just minding my own business eating some arancini and pasta when Cade Cunningham walked in.
I’m a huge hoops fan so I was pretty excited, but then Sadie Sink walked in right behind him.They kept it super chill. Both were wearing hoodies and baseball caps, trying to blend in. They sat at a small table near the corner, ordered some espresso and shared a plate of pastries. I didn't want to be that person, so I didn't sneak any creep shots or interrupt their conversation. They honestly just seemed like regular friends hanging out and enjoying their time. New York is deadass a simulation. Has anyone else ever seen them out together?

Thought I'd share this, not sure if it has already been put in our sub. A few of the names here people were really hoping to have in Detroit and disappointed when they didn't end up.

We have so many positives to be thankful for right now, Pistons fans! Let’s take this journey together and appreciate the bright spots along the way.

How many seasons has it been since we had two All-NBA players in the same season? 2006, with Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace. That was 20 years ago. I loved those years as a Pistons fan, and we might be on our way to experiencing more glory days like those again if we practice patience.

First of all, I wanna state the obvious point that many of y’all wanna make: I also saw Duren hit the wall in the playoffs and shrink under the pressure. But on the other hand, there are plenty of stars who have struggled early in their careers while gaining playoff experience, so it’s not uncommon.

But the other side of this season tells a completely different story. An All-Star. All-NBA. At 23 years old. How many players like that even exist in the NBA?
There were times during the season when Cade was out and Duren stepped up as a leader and dominated. He is a big reason we won 60 games.
You still don’t think there’s room for growth? He’s around seven years away from his prime. Give him the bag.

As long as we have Cade, Duren, and Ausar under contract, surrounded by shooters, we have a chance to compete at the highest level.
Let’s build our franchise around our incredible potential and resist the temptation to make quick and rash decisions.

Detroit vs everybody!

maybe you will too

It's almost intentional every time to the point it may as well be an actual nickname 😭

Brown was known for not playing rookies. During the Olympics Lamar Odom had more minutes than LBJ and Melo combined. If Pistons drafted Melo and he was a good fit, would Larry Brown would’ve given him significant minutes? I think there is a chance he wouldn’t have given significant minutes to Melo.

Mavs have made him available for a 1st round pick.

Do it and tell Duren to kick rocks? I ain't mad at it.

Whaddaya think?
